Rejoice in the Lord always.

Again I say, rejoice!

(Philippians. 4.4).

Rejoice! Be filled with the

joy of the Holy Spirit.

Power To Do Right

If I do what is contrary to

my desire, I agree with

the Law that it is good.

However, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin

that dwells in me.

For I know that nothing

good dwells in me.

I can will what is right,

but have no power to

carry it out.

For I fail to do the good

that I desire to do.

On the other hand,

I wind up doing what

I do not want to do.

Now if I do what I do not

desire to do, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin that dwells

in me.

Consider this:

1) The inertia that is caused

by human nature.

2) Human nature likes … Continue Reading

DEAD TO THE LAW

Do you not know brothers and sisters,

for I am speaking to those who are

acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims

have power over a person only for as

long as he or she is alive?

For instance, a married woman is bound

by law to her husband as long as he lives,

but if her husband dies, she is discharged

from the law concerning her husband.

Accordingly, if while her husband lives,

she marries another man, she will be

called an adulteress, but if her husband

dies, she is free from that law, so that

if she marries another man she is not an

adulteress.

Likewise my brothers and sisters you

have undergone … Continue Reading

TRUE FREEDOM

TRUE FREEDOM

Even so consider yourselves also

dead to sin and your relation to it

broken, but alive to God, living in

unbroken fellowship with Him, in

Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin rule in you

mortal body, that you should obey it

in its lusts.

And do not present your members

as instruments of unrighteousness

to sin, but present yourselves to God

as being alive from the dead, and your

members as instruments of righteousness

to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you,

for you are not under law but under grace.

What then, shall we sin because we are not

under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Do you not know that to whom … Continue Reading
